Summary - After introducing project overview about recycling here at school and what we can do to help, I would have the students "brainstorm" ideas and topics using Wallwisher as a place for everyone to share their ideas. Once that is done, I would then have each student go onto bitstrips to create a three screen or more cartoon about how GMS students could help the school by recycling - like a PSA. Once everyone was done, I would have the students present their strips and then all students would vote for their classes' best strip (using Google Apps). The winners strips would be shown on our in house television system so all students could see the students' work.
